Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crystallization auxiliary agent addition, in particular to a novel crystallization auxiliary agent addition injection device. Background Art
[0002] In the alumina production process, crystallization additives (also known as CGMs) play a significant role in seed decomposition nucleation and particle size control, and are one of the key auxiliary means to improve the particle size and quality of seed decomposition products. When adding a crystallization aid into a plate heat exchanger pipe containing sodium aluminate solution, the crystallization aid reacts rapidly with the sodium aluminate solution, maintaining a long reaction time and forming small aluminum hydroxide crystals that continuously aggregate into a clog. Existing dosing devices are relatively simple, consisting of simply welding a section of pipe to the sodium aluminate solution pipe and connecting a ball valve. This approach presents significant limitations, as operators cannot predict when a pipe blockage will occur. A burst can only be discovered after the hose gradually increases pressure and the pipe bursts. This delayed discovery and treatment results in waste of crystallization aid and environmental risks. Upon discovering a burst, operators stop adding and address the blockage. At this point, they must carefully open the clogged ball valve and use relatively hard tools such as wire to clear the blockage with pressure and material. However, the moment the blockage is cleared, the solution splashes out, posing a significant safety risk and easily causing burns (from the lye solution) and other injuries (from slips and falls). Furthermore, addressing the issue takes a long time, resulting in interruptions in system addition and failure to meet required addition requirements, impacting nucleation and particle size control in the decomposition tank. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to provide a novel crystallization aid adding and injecting device to solve the problem of interruption of addition of the crystallization aid caused by blockage during the transportation process.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a new crystallization aid adding and injecting device, comprising a solution tube, a base, a Y-shaped body, a fixed column and an infusion tube, wherein the base is connected to the inside of the solution tube and communicated with the solution tube, the bottom of the Y-shaped body is vertically connected directly above the base, one free end of the Y-shaped body is connected to the fixed column, the interior of the fixed column is hollowed out, a push rod is connected to the inside of the fixed column, the top of the push rod is connected to a handle, the other free end of the Y-shaped body is a feed port, and the feed port is communicated with the infusion tube for conveying the crystallization aid.
[0005] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: sodium aluminate solution flows in the solution tube, and at this time, the handle is rotated to move the push rod upward. At this time, the infusion tube is controlled to inject the crystallization auxiliary agent, and the agent quickly enters the sodium aluminate solution tube from the feed port and the base, realizing the injection process of the crystallization auxiliary agent. After the injection is completed, the handle is rotated in the opposite direction to move the push rod downward. During the downward movement, the bottom of the push rod cleans the fine alumina crystals adhered to the Y-shaped pipe, and after cleaning, the crystals are sent into the sodium aluminate solution tube through the base.
[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The reagent is normally conveyed through the feed port of the Y-shaped body, and the handle is switched on and off regularly. The push rod pushes away the fine alumina crystals attached to the Y-shaped body and the base, thereby realizing online cleaning of scale, thereby reducing waste caused by pipe bursts and leakages of crystallization aids, and avoiding the safety risk of high-temperature and high-pressure sodium aluminate solution piercing the material and injuring people during the pipeline blockage disposal process; 2. It solves the problem of interruption of addition of crystallization aids caused by blockage and other faults, which leads to inability to add them continuously, and provides a basis for early prediction of process parameter adjustments such as seed decomposition and nucleation control and particle size regulation, which is of great significance to stable production process operation control.
[0007] Furthermore, the infusion tube includes a conversion joint, a connecting ball valve, a connecting tube, a check valve, and a quick connector. The conversion joint is connected to the feed port, which is connected to the connecting ball valve, which is connected to the connecting tube, which is connected to the check valve, which is connected to the quick connector. The quick connector is connected to a hose, which is connected to the crystallization aid tank. The connection ball valve and check valve allow the delivery tube to be quickly closed, preventing large-scale loss and waste of materials and achieving energy conservation.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting pipe is connected to a pressure gauge. Through the provision of the pressure gauge, the pressure situation in the delivery pipe can be observed at any time during operation.
[0009] Furthermore, a fixing assembly is connected between the fixing column and the Y-shaped body. The fixing assembly includes a fixing plate and a plurality of connecting columns. The fixing plate is connected to the Y-shaped body. The bottom end of the fixing column is connected to the fixing plate via a plurality of connecting columns. A stabilizing plate is connected between the connecting column and the fixing plate. The push rod passes through the fixing column, the fixing plate, and the Y-shaped body in sequence from top to bottom and is located at the inner bottom of the Y-shaped body. By using the fixing plate and the connecting columns, the fixing column and the Y-shaped body are connected at intervals, so that the surface condition of the push rod can be observed during operation to determine whether there is leakage in the Y-shaped body. At the same time, it avoids the completely sealed fixing column. The crystallization aid flows into the gap between the push rod and the fixed column during injection, and finally becomes small crystals that hinder the operation of the push rod.
[0010] Furthermore, a clamping ring is provided at the top of the fixing post, a gland is connected to the top of the fixing plate, and the push rod passes through the gland and is located within the Y-shaped body. The clamping ring provides a more stable connection between the push rod and the fixing post, and the gland ensures a tight fit between the Y-shaped body and the push rod, preventing leakage.
[0011] Furthermore, the push rod is connected to a push block at its bottom, with sealing pads at its upper and lower ends. The diameter of the push rod is smaller than that of the push block. By setting the push block and the push rod to different diameters, the push rod can be limited in movement, preventing the push rod from completely separating from the Y-shaped fuselage.
[0012] Furthermore, the base is conical, and the diameter of the base is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the Y-shaped body. By setting the base and the Y-shaped body with different diameters, the base can be more firmly connected to the solution tube. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
